Ever wondered about the potential of solar hot water systems compared to traditional solar panels? A recent conversation sparked my curiosity, leading me to explore the benefits and considerations of these eco-friendly systems. Solar hot water systems harness the sun's thermal energy to heat water, requiring less roof space and offering an impressive ROI with a payback period of just 7 years.

However, despite their advantages, they're not as prevalent as you'd think, especially in places like New Zealand where past installation issues have marred their reputation. Plus, they need a backup for those not-so-sunny days.
Thinking of going solar for your hot water needs? It's crucial to consider your specific situation – there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Contact AE Consulting for some help with analysis!
